Second Week of Fall
As the weather changes, so does Kathy's routine. Gold mornings put a damper on her gardening and fishing, but the previous week she broke the code on making money. She has enough fish and fruit stored to make it, and she is contemplating her next moves in the challenge. She is somewhat certain that she has found a Life Fruit seed and hopes she can produce at least on prior to Winter. She has also had her first Alien visitor without encounter.
Kathy spent the Sunday through Tuesday just making money. She has now purchased every public business in town, as well as the GreenWire and Meadow Beach. Certain that her investments will be suitable (already meeting the challenge requirement in net worth), Kathy started focusing on other aspects of the challenge.
On Wednesday and Friday she raked leaves around town for a total of 18.5 hours as Community Service. While Nicholas Riverhawk and Andrew Song had fun playing in the leaf piles, Roberto Vega stopped by and actually took care of disposing them.
Pulling community service at or around the gym, gave her the benefit of showers close by. Kathy also took the opportunity to pump a little iron before relaxing in the hot tub there.
On Thursday, Kathy worked on her second novel, after riding her bike to town early and purchasing the Shoreline Cabin. That evening she visited the cabin since she had chosen it as her project property for the challenge. She scanned the property and started getting ideas of how to upgrade it. She also met locals like Jenny Lho and asked them for input. Kathy the realized that she would have a bit trouble modernizing the property while managing to keep the rustic feel the locals were more pleased with.
Kathy also visited the Fall Festival, but there weren't too many people there. She went through the Haunted House but was not impressed. In attempts to challenge fate she decided roaming through the catacombs at the cemetery might be more challenging. And they were, as she was caught calling 911 shortly after being mauled by a bear ... 🤣
Her visit to the catacombs inspired her to start a third novel ... Past Lives ... On Saturday. It being Fall and Emmaline Rhoen throwing a Swim Party not even having a swimming pool or hot tub, Kathy could not pass up the opportunity to make her first party appearance. The evening was interesting to say the least, and Kathy made a Pumpkin Pie for everyone to enjoy.

Lifetime Rewards Purchased This Week: Acclaimed Author and Extra Creative
Worth just under a million (which will reward her 20000 Lifetime Reward Points, and it isn't even her Lifetime Wish), Kathy has enough money to start renovations on the Shoreline Cabin. Six weeks into a sixteen-week journey, if she does grow a Life Fruit Plant and stays on track, she will have this challenge wrapped up. At this point, Kathy starts shooting for the record books in how she finishes the challenge, competing more against previous challengers than the challenge itself.
Less than halfway through she has a solid grip on things ... Happy Simming ... 💖
